Free Download Monte Lee Rice, "Pentecostal Liturgical Theology: On the Altar, Willed to Pentecost "
English | ISBN: 0567717402 | 2025 | 264 pages | PDF | 28 MB
This book explores how Pentecostal meaning-full worship frees people into a cosmic liturgy that wills humanity to Pentecost. A liturgical turn has marked recent Pentecostal studies, producing a growing body of liturgical theologies. This cutting edge work analyses four theologians at its forefront: Tanya Riches, Daniela Augustine, Chris E.W. Green, and Wolfgang Vondey. It does so through a "liturgy as primary theology" approach, which defines liturgy as "the church at prayer". Here, Rice shows how Pentecostal experience clarifies liturgy as the church at prayer on the altar.

Free Download Roger E. Reynolds, "Studies on Medieval Liturgical and Legal Manuscripts from Spain and Southern Italy "
English | ISBN: 1138375357 | 2018 | 332 pages | EPUB | 4 MB
Though it may not be immediately obvious why articles on topics from such distantly removed areas of western Europe – the Iberian peninsula and southern Italy – should appear in the same volume (the fourth collection by Roger Reynolds), the materials covered illustrate that they are indeed closely related, both in their differences and their similarities. Both peninsulas had their own indigenous liturgies and music (Old Spanish and Beneventan), distinctive written scripts (Visigothic and Beneventan), and legal and theological traditions, and repeatedly these worked their influence on other areas of western Europe. Although there were frequent attempts by the papacy and secular rulers from the 9th to the 13th century to suppress these distinctive traditions in both areas, elements of these nonetheless survived well into the 16th century and beyond. Despite the differences in these traditions, the articles in this volume also demonstrate through manuscript evidence the continued exchange of the distinctive customs between the Iberian peninsula and southern Italian cultures from the very early Middle Ages through the 12th century.

Free Download Armand Léon van van Ommen, "Autism and Worship: A Liturgical Theology"
English | ISBN: 1481319892 | 2023 | 263 pages | PDF | 11 MB
In churches today, those on the autism spectrum are often at best overlooked by neurotypical church members or at worst infantilized. Viewed as "other," autistic people who feel excluded from the church community abound, and statistics show that they are less likely to attend church than others. Other autistic people do participate in worship but testify to being dismissed when asking for "reasonable accommodations," and they are routinely given fewer formal roles in the liturgy.
